Listen to the Sports Media Watchdog Podcast from Sunday September 16th as Mike Silva and me discuss Mike Francesa's on air siesta, Chris Russo and his Mad Dog Radio channel on Sirius/XM and a rant by former Miami U player and now radio talks show host Dan Sileo calling out players on the The U's football team
Instead of ranting here on the Bad Ollie Experience of yesterday just listen to my rant on Pro Baseball Central from last night. I think I set a record for the most times using the phrase “consistency in the mechanics†Also Ben Kabak of River Ave Blues was on to talk Highlanders.
Â
Of all people The Old Grumpy Man has a positive piece on Gary Sheffield joining the Mets.
Â
Darren O’Day had a very tough day dealing with the death of Nick Adenhart. The LA Times also chronicles the long list of tragedies that have struck the Angels franchise.
Â
You have got to go to the Gary, Keith and Ron site and purchase the new Ralph Kiner shirt. This t-shirt should be standard uniform for all Mets fans it’s absolutely stunning.

Thanks a lot David Lennon for now setting of a wide spread panic through out Mets Fandom.
10:30 on a Saturday morning and I’m still sitting in my living room. No basketball games to run to. No ice skating lesson to go freeze my ass off at AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! I could get used to this but I know it won’t last too much longer.
Not much Mets news either as but you should check out this post from Mike Silva on his NY Baseball Digest site on the Christmas Day article in the Daily News on Ryan Church. Silva had told me when Mike Francesa went on his Church hates NY rant that it was bullshit and now Church in this article backs that up. Also Silva is adding the lovely and talented Frank Maniscalco (A/K/A Frankie The Sports Guy) as his go to guy on Fantasy Baseball.
A classic Joe Benigno rant on the Eric (Have Another Hamburger) Mangini and if it were up to Uncle Leo Joe he’d be gone yesterday. While listening to this rant feel free to change the name Jets to Mets. Oh the pain!!!!!!!!!!
So far the phone calls suck. First guy said that Dan Murphy reminds him of Tony Gywnn? HUH? First it’s way to early to compare Danny Boy to a guy like TG who is one of the greatest hitters of all time. It’s great the DM is hitting the cover off the ball but we will find out what kind of player he is after he has some adversity in the bigs and how he adjusts.
Next guy Carl from Staten Island started off with the obligatory ass kissing of Gary and Mex then went on a rant about Omar not getting relief help, when Gary asked you he thought Omar should have gone after Carl punked out and hung up.
Caller asked about J-Man getting the gig as manager for long term and Gary said he was “100 % in favor of giving Manuel job permanently” From the tone of Gary’s response I don’t think he shed a tear when Willie Randolph got gassed.
Mex is also on board in lifting the “interim” tag away for J-Man
Next guy wanted to know why Reyes-Wright and Delgado are still in the game? Good question
